Our life is a circus

DSCF0990


A few weeks ago we saw some coupons for a circus and decided it would be fun to take the grandkids. Since it was in the gym of a small town high school we knew it wouldn't be a big thing, but the babies are only 1 and 3 so we knew they would be thrilled with any of it. Mom & dad decided to tag along, and we let them, lol.

PaPaw and I held seats while the parents let the kiddos get their faces painted. One thing my grandkids is teaching me is to live in the moment more and I find myself leaving the big camera away while I play with them. Such is the case this day, we just took the little point and shoot like "normal" people, instead of photographers.

I had to get a closer peek though.

Adrianna just got a cute little sparkly (pardon the boogies please). They had a really good time munching on popcorn and cotton candy while watching their performers.

Their daddy (our son-in-law) even got to be a part of the show.

  13. That is some SERIOUS facepainting! I'm so impressed that he was willing to sit that still for so long!

    The tutu shot is pretty funny. One I'm sure his kids will giggle about for years to come!

  15. Sometimes those small, free circuses are the best! There is a group that comes through this area every year, and once Eler Beth got to be in a hula-hoop contest in the big ring. We still like going to their shows when they come through.
